CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION
| Assembly Bill | No. 1441 |
| Introduced by Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials (Assembly Members Quirk (Chair), Dahle (Vice Chair), Arambula, Cristina Garcia, Gomez, and Holden) |
February 17, 2017 |
An act to amend Sections 25123.3, 25160, 25160.2, 25160.3, 25160.4, 25160.5, 25160.6, 25160.8, 25205.15, and 25207.5 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to hazardous waste.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1441, as introduced, Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials.
Hazardous waste: transportation: electronic manifests.
(1) Existing law, which is part of the hazardous waste control law, imposes various manifest requirements for transporting hazardous waste, including, among others, requiring any person generating hazardous waste that is transported, or submitted for transportation, for offsite handling, treatment, storage, disposal, or any combination thereof, to complete a manifest and be subject to transporter registration requirements. A violation of the hazardous waste control law is a crime.
This bill would authorize specified manifest requirements for transporting hazardous waste, including requirements to give, provide, send, forward, or return to another person a copy of a manifest, to sign a manifest or manifest certification by hand, or to keep or retain a copy of a manifest, to be satisfied through the use of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency electronic manifest (e-Manifest) system, once it comes online.
(2) Existing law authorizes certain requirements to submit a hazardous waste transportation manifest to be satisfied by instead submitting an electronic report to the Department of Toxic Substances Control.
This bill would repeal the authorization to submit electronic reports on and after the date the United States Environmental Protection Agency electronic manifest (e-Manifest) system comes online.
(3) Existing law requires a person who submits to the Department of Toxic Substances Control an incomplete or improperly completed hazardous waste transportation manifest to resubmit the manifest accompanied by a fee of $20.
This bill would, on and after the date the United States Environmental Protection
Agency electronic manifest (e-Manifest) system comes online, require a person who enters incomplete or erroneous information into the e-Manifest system to, upon notification, correct the information in the e-Manifest system and submit a fee of $20 to the department.
(4) Existing law requires the Department of Toxic Substances Control to annually expend $1,050,000, commencing with the 1999–2000 fiscal year, upon appropriation by the Legislature, from the hazardous waste transportation manifest fees deposited in the Hazardous Waste Control Account to implement pollution prevention measures.
This bill would repeal that requirement.
(5) This bill would also make other changes related to hazardous waste transportation manifest laws and would delete obsolete provisions.
(6) By
changing the conduct that constitutes the crime of violating the hazardous waste control laws, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(7) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
